Comments  Dedcated to Ulysse Delecluse. Clarinet part demands a virtuoso technique involving many fast notes, some with scales in octaves. Two cadenzas in last movement. The middle movement is quiet with a beautiful melodic line and sumptuous chords.

Comments  Dedicated "To Benny Goodman". A major work in the clarinet concerto repertoire. Jazz idiom is prevalent in the fast movement. Work is technically and musically demanding. Major performance difficulty is endurance because, for the clarinetist, there are few rests and those are short.

The second movement is in a flowing 6/8 meter with an expressive cadenza. The last movement requires a quick staccato.
